20-Minute Shrimp & Sausage Paleo Skillet Meal

Think healthy and hearty paleo cooking takes forever? Got 20 minutes?

Here’s a unique surf and turf kind of paleo meal that’s quick and easy. And it’s loaded with wholesome, nutritious stuff which makes it even better.

This paleo dish takes more time to chop the fresh veggies than it does to cook. And with its super-easy spices and a pre-cooked sausage of your choice, it’ll be on your plate in a snap! 

Call me old-fashioned, but I used Old Bay Seasoning for this recipe. It’s a 70-year-old secret mix of herbs and spices that includes celery salt, red pepper, mustard, black pepper, bay leaves, cloves, paprika and some other ingredients they don’t even list. I love it. It adds an awesome zip to seafood and poultry. And it’s really inexpensive compared to many pre-mixed spices. Be sure and add this classic to your spice rack!

What’s really great about this paleo shrimp and sausage recipe is its versatility – feel free to change up the veggies any way you want. I kept this mixture to quick-cooking veggies because we were hungry and I didn’t want to wait. And we nailed it.

Spicy, sweet, and savory all in one bite.

This one’s a keeper for us. Hope it will be for you too!
